GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Billy Napier began a much-needed defensive makeover by firing two assistants Monday.
Napier parted with cornerbacks coach Corey Raymond and defensive line coach Sean Spencer two days after a season-ending, 24-15 loss to rival and then-No.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the coach nor the assistants had made the moves public.
Napier hired Raymond and Spencer before his first season.
But with Spencer in charge, Florida’s run defense ranked 12th in the SEC in 2022 and 11th in 2023.
